Can a judge order physical exclusion of a party at trial?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Danielsen v. Johnson, 2013 BCSC 510 (CanLII):
And at para. 7: Acceptance of this conclusion does not deny jurisdiction in the court at the trial or in the presiding judicial official at any stage of the proceedings to order the physical exclusion of a party, should a violation of an essential of justice occur or be threatened, if exclusion is not directed. What may constitute such a violation depends on the situation in each case appraised in its own atmosphere, see Bird v. Vieth (1899) 7 B.C.R. 31.
